Top stars Se7en and Boa are entering the U.S. music market this spring, and are expected to compete head-to-head.
Boa revealed that she is currently preparing her U.S. album, aiming for its release in May. Se7en also expects to release his U.S. album in 2-3 months, which means that both singers will be debuting in the U.S. at the same time.
Since 2006, Se7en partnered up with top star Usher, TLC, and producer Mark Shimmel, Beyonce’s album producer Richie Harrison. They are currently making finishing touches to Se7en’s album.
Se7en’s record label YG Entertainment’s president, Yang Hyun Suk, said on his homepage on Feb. 1, “The album will soon be released.”
Boa will also join Se7en this May, making a smooth transition into the U.S. markets.
On the other hand, Boa’s album will be produced by Peter Rapfelson, who also produced an album for internationally reknown pop star Madonna, along with other well-known producers.
Both Boa and Se7en have earned much praise in Japan, as well as the rest of Asia. It will be interesting how their competition in the U.S. will turn out.
They are not the only Koreans debuting in the U.S. this year. JYP will soon see to J. Lim, G. Soul and Min’s officially debut in 2008. This is a decisive year for many Korean artists who will test the U.S. waters for success.
